Never let a good crisis go to waste has been the Left’s playbook since the Obama years. Now, as thousands of union members strike against General Motors, Democrats are seizing on the crisis to push “Medicare for all.” Unsurprisingly, they’re doing so by falsely insisting thousands of striking workers are without healthcare coverage, cut off by an evil and greedy corporation.

The United Auto Workers union, one of the nation’s most powerful unions, called a nationwide strike last week after negotiations with GM collapsed. Now roughly 50,000 workers are on strike. The following day, in accordance with the contract terms agreed upon by UAW leadership, GM revealed that it would cease healthcare coverage for striking workers.
